This could be the biggest Game in the next two and half years for the Utah Jazz. If Darius Miles plays one minute against the Jazz it will be the best thing to happen to Jazz since the D-Will was drafted.

Why? If you don't already know call me and I will give you a rundown. It will mean that Darius Miles has played 10 games this season. So What? Exactly,It will mean that 18 million dollars will be thrown back onto the Blazers Payroll over the next two years.

You may be thinking so what 18 million dollars is only 9 million dollars a year. Only 9 million dollars means that the Blazers would lose any combination of 9 million dollars below. And/or not be able to sign a few players and they have some big names up for extensions-- Brandon Roy, ever heard of him.

12	LaMarcus Aldridge	PF	23	6-11	240	Texas	$4,631,400
88	Nicolas Batum	SF	20	6-8	200		$1,040,640
4	Jerryd Bayless	PG	20	6-3	200	Arizona	$1,993,560
2	Steve Blake	PG	28	6-3	172	Maryland	$4,250,000
1	Ike Diogu	PF	25	6-9	250	Arizona State	$2,912,823
5	Rudy Fernandez	SG	23	6-6	185		$1,084,080
44	Channing Frye	PF	25	6-11	245	Arizona	$3,163,769
9	Raef LaFrentz	C	32	6-11	240	Kansas	$12,722,500
52	Greg Oden	C	20	7-0	285	Ohio State	$5,011,680
25	Travis Outlaw	SF	24	6-9	207		$4,000,000
10	Joel Przybilla	C	29	7-1	245	Minnesota	$6,310,150
42	Shavlik Randolph	PF	25	6-10	240	Duke	$797,581
11	Sergio Rodriguez	PG	22	6-3	176		$874,000
7	Brandon Roy	SG	24	6-6	211	Washington	$3,084,240
8	Martell Webster	SG	22	6-7	235		$3,771,133

That is if the Salary Cap and Luxury tax stay the same let alone drop by 3-4 million which is very possible this year and guaranteed next year see John Hollingers Article Shrinking Salary Cap its about 3/4 of the way down the page.

Who cares if the Blazers go over the salary cap. We do it means more money for those teams that stay under and also because they will not be able to sign everyone not make them as good and allow us to keep a hold of the division for the next two years. Kapeesh

I can still taste the throw-up in my mouth from Wednesday's accident.


We need some Matt Foley to get us on the right track.
